Welcome to 15 Minutes in the Word with New York Times best-selling author Joyce Meyer.

On today's program, Joyce will be teaching from her series, The Fearsome Four.

When we feel discouraged, defeated, or overwhelmed by the pressures of life,

chances are we're being hit by what Joyce calls the fearsome for.

Fear, guilt, worry, and insecurity. The devil uses

these obstacles to keep us from God's calling, but with Christ we can defeat all of them

and reach God's perfect plan for our life. Be empowered with today's teaching and learn

to embrace God's fearless for, peace, confidence, love, and courage.

Now, here's Joyce with today's teaching.

Please listen to me. I went through all the years of trying to find some way to live,

where I had enough faith, where I never had those problems,

where when I did get a problem, I could rebuke the devil and believe God and make that problem go away.

And I just about killed myself with frustration.

And finally, I decided, oh, I'm supposed to trust God.

And if God doesn't get rid of it, then I trust God to take me through it.

We trust God's timing.

We trust His wisdom. We trust His ways, and by doing that, guess what happens? We can enjoy every single day of the journey. We don't have to just be happy when we arrive and get it all our way. We can enjoy every single day even of the weight. Now that's what I call real, bold, mature Christianity. You don't

have to be a believer to be happy when everything's going your way, but you need a major dose

of the Holy Ghost to be happy when not much of anything is going your way. Matthew 6.25.

Everybody say, I'm finished with worry.

I'm moving beyond it.

Therefore, I tell you, stop being perpetually uneasy, anxious, and worried about your life,
